new to golf, made a 78

hey guys, i just started playing golf 2 months ago and let me tell you im addicted as heeellllll. i dont know why but its the funnest thing in the world.

i started 2 months ago, i went and bought a starter set from wal-mart, good but bad idea, i cant hit the driver worth a ****, slice almost boomerangs it is so bad, after some research and advice i started using my 5 wood because it has a stiffer rod, much better but only hitting 230-245, im thinking with a driver i should get 280+ im thinking, but anyways my first times out i would do good except for the driving and that would constitute to my around 100 scores

well i went for the fist time and only used me 5 wood for driving, my score was a 78, much much much better i got my first 2 birdies in that round and i think 9 pars. after reading alot of post i realized i must be doing good to make a 78 after 2 months of playing

well thats my glory story, im going back friday and hopefully fix some of my errors and shoot a little better

thanks for reading,
darrell

What did you get on the back nine?? haha

Chessbum...

haha thats what my girlfriend said

that was all 18 holes

All I can say is...after 2 years, I'm just getting to where I can hit 240 pretty consistently...with my DRIVER. And I'm getting close to breaking 100, but not there yet.

I'd say anyone who can shoot a 78 after two months of play is a golf prodigy and probably should think about giving up the day job.

Sorry to be the pessimist in the bunch, but there's got to be more to this story. That's simply not possible.

Sounds great!
What par/length is the course?
Do you have a handicap yet?

Good stuff. I've been playing for 2 years (well, 15 months... damn Canadian snow!) and have just broken 100 this year.

Congrats on the quick 78! How many one putts did you have?

How many shots did it take you to get through the windmill? LOL.

If you shot a 78 on a par 72 course,I'm impressed. I'm not saying it's impossible, but the fact that you have only been playing for two months makes it really hard to believe.

Tom

its all true i promise, im 18 years old i dont lie bout that kindah stuf anymore


i shot off the gold, its 5679 yards, 6436 on blue and the par is 72

the course is the griffin city park golf course in griffin geogia

not many one putts except on the birdies, i was just hitting green or fringe in 2 shots on par 4s, my irons shots were dead on

i appreciate the praises

Great Job Have You Had Any Lessons? Thats A Remarkable Score For Playing 2 Months. I Bet Your Hooked For Sure Now

no lessons, but i plan on some when it gets back spring time

no i dont have a handicap yet i dont know how to caculate or whatever

You're in my neck of the woods, Griffin City Park. My buddy played over there last week. Being the 250 handicap I am, he said I would like that course as he shot 11 over and is usually a mid 20's handicap. I live south of Griffin and I usually play at The Pines, The Cedars, Hickory Ridge, Pebblebrook, Roosevelt, Beaver Lake. I've been playing for about 4 months now and my best has been +10 on 9 holes...a good round for me is 100.

thats pretty neat, ive only been to the griffin course, cheap price but pretty good condition coursei plan on going tomorrow bout 12, hopefully do as good or better

Shooting a 78 after 2 months is an amazing achievement.

It took me 3 years and a lot of practice before I broke 80.
You will soon learn that the key to the game is consistency.

I've shot a par round one day followed by a 15 over the next.
Golf is such a frustrating game but also very addictive.

It only takes one really good shot at the end of a bad round to make you crave the next game.

I'm still not buying a 78 after two months... Like I said, there's more to this story.
